Breaking News Coverage
Spot news photographers and video crews dispatched the moment news breaks (fires, crime scenes, severe weather, and major incidents) with broadcast-ready footage moved fast.
Coverage market
Breaking news coverage, live shots, ENG crews, and news photography across Hampton Roads, dispatched through our Las Vegas assignment desk, 24/7.
Norfolk is one of the 100 U.S. markets where Live Core Productions maintains coverage. From spot news and severe weather to courts, politics, and special events, our Norfolk crews deliver broadcast-ready video and stills to newsrooms nationwide.
Our Norfolk coverage includes breaking news response, ENG crew day rates, news photography for wire and digital, and full field production with editing. Live shots are supported end-to-end: bonded cellular transmission, IFB and return video, and crews who treat a live window as sacred.
The assignment desk is live 24/7 at 707-940-LIVE. Call, or send a request and we will confirm your Norfolk crew within minutes, not hours.
In Norfolk the assignments cluster around Norfolk City Hall and the Norfolk Circuit Court, the Walter E. Hoffman U.S. Courthouse, and Naval Station Norfolk and the Scope Arena, and our photographers have shot at all of them. From Downtown Norfolk, Ghent, Ocean View, the NEON District, and Larchmont to the outer suburbs of Hampton Roads, we know the drive times, the media staging areas, and who to call for access.
Scheduled coverage in Norfolk includes press conferences, trials and hearings, campaign stops, sports and entertainment at Naval Station Norfolk, the Scope Arena, and the Chrysler Hall, commencements and campus stories at Old Dominion University, Norfolk State University, and Eastern Virginia Medical School, and the planned events that fill a rundown. We shoot to your style guide, deliver b-roll, VOSOTs, or full packages, and return the raw media the same day.
Live shots from Norfolk are supported end to end: LiveU and TVU bonded cellular, IFB and return video, satellite coordination when a story calls for it, and a photographer who treats a live window as sacred. We have hit windows from Naval Station Norfolk, the Scope Arena, and the Chrysler Hall and from scenes with no infrastructure at all.
